Page 13: Measuring The Concert Pitch Of An Instrument
2.3 Measuring the concert pitch of an instrument Enter, like in the above example, into the pitch mode. Display for instance: a-1 <>PITCH <2> PITCH:440.0 Tap key "A". a-1 <>PITCH <2A> PITCH:440.0 When you now strike the tone a1 on your instrument, the standard pitch program of the device starts to adjust Automatic on to the played tone. - Page 14 The four built-in stretchings are the result of trials, during which various pianos were tuned by ear, and subsequently measured. The stretching most suitable for your requirement must be tried by you first, considering that the weak and middle stretching is more suitable for pianos with large measure (concert grand piano).

Page 15: Presetting Of Historical Tempereaments
2.6 Presetting of historical tempereaments Friends of historical instruments can use TUNING SET CTS-5-CA for 70 different historical temperaments. The last one may be programmed by yourself (see memory mode). In the following example the instrument is tuned to "WERCKMEISTER III": Switch on the device: >1<... - Page 16 You can still leave the memory mode without changing the memory, by tapping key "<" or ">". You can leave the memory mode at any time, by pressing keys "S" and "E" simultaneously. This is herein after referred to as ("S+E"). Go ahead by pressing key "S"...

Page 18: For All Those Who Wish To Learn More About Tuning Set
3 For all those who wish to learn more about Tuning Set … 3.1 The equal temperament The Equal Temperament is the most frequently used temperament, it is the basic tuning of CTS-5. The following example shows its mathematical theory. Given that standard pitch a' is 440.0 Hertz, then oscillations of the chromatic semi-tone steps are calculated as follows: bb' = 440,00 Hz * 12 2 466,16 Hz... -

3.4 The "cent"-values of the historical temperaments See table at the end of this manual. 3.4.1 The "cent"- relation function All temperament tables in the Tuning Set (including the self stored one) are calculated so that the cent deviation of the tone "a" is zero. We may say that "a" is the "cent relation tone". Sometimes other cent relation tones will be required. -

3.6 The PIANYZER - how to make an individual piano tuning Using the „Pianyzer“ (Piano Analyzer) you get more beautiful piano tunings. Here the stretching of the instrument will be optimized individually. The stretching can be created in two ways. 1. - Page 22 “tune” PIANYZER STRETCH mode. Then it goes on, as described in Section 2.5 <1> TUNE of the manual for CTS-5-CA. Note: Within the “ANAYZER”- procedure, you can back step by holding “S” button while tapping “E” button.
